   DJ, There is NO shortage of humans on this planet...When I look how "politics" is dealing with human lives I only find it disgusting...
"Living with "the virus", climate collapse...Wars killing 1,000+ people per day...". The idea seems to be most people can be replaced and/or are an economic burden...

Excess deaths in general still high. Still global population keeps growing however life expectency may stop increasing even decrease in some countries. 

Better educated women tend to have no/less children. The longer term trend may point to a decrease of human (over)population.

DJ-Human population is expected to "peak" in the coming years/decades then decrease...

Will 2025 be a breaking point ? 

Most people-by far-live in Asia. India did take over China in population-both 1,4 billion+. Both countries also expect economic growth...https://www.worldometers.info/world-population/ or https://www.worldometers.info/world-population/ 

However Asia can be hit very hard by climate distaters, pandemics and as a result famines, social unrest, (civil) wars, social collapse. 

https://www.britannica.com/list/6-deadliest-earthquakes or https://www.britannica.com/list/6-deadliest-earthquakes in recent past may have claimed over 100,000 deaths...

The Haiti earthquake of 2010 devastated the metropolitan area of Port-au-Prince, killing an estimated 300,000 people and leaving an estimated 1,500,000 survivors homeless.

The Tangshan earthquake of 1976, also called the Great Tangshan Earthquake, occurred on July 28, 1976, with a magnitude of 7.5, and nearly razed the Chinese coal-mining and industrial city of Tangshan, located about 68 miles (110 km) east of Beijing. The death toll, thought to be one of the largest in recorded history, was officially reported as 242,000 persons, but it may have been as high as 655,000.

DJ, Floods can kill millions...

So far CoViD-since 2019- may have claimed 40 million lives...The Spanish H1N1 Flu between 1917 and 1923 may have killed 1-in-20 of the global population...With India, Java/Dutch East Indies each over 1 million...

The outlook for 2025 is bad.
